Evidence-Based Medicine for Medical and Health Librarians

Medical practitioners primarily physicians look for information that is relevant and accurate for their research. They seek the help of information specialists in providing them authentic cases that will serve as their record for diagnosis and treatment. Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is the answer for this type of information.

In the Philippines, we have the Asia Pacific Center for Evidence-Based Medicine as the organization that provides healthcare professionals with a comprehensive, up-to-date, web-based resource for practicing, and teaching EBM.

They provide various workshops and trainings for those who are interested in EBM.

Online resources for EBM are: US Cochrane Library, AHEC Digital Library, and the Cochrane Library Collaboration.
